Once every four years, the sport of beach volleyball takes center court, spiking the globe’s attention at the Olympics .🏐🏅 This year, we met up with three-time Olympic Gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings at Paris 2024 to shine a spotlight on Santa Monica’s impact on beach volleyball. 🌴🌊 “Not only is Santa Monica the birthplace of modern beach volleyball, but it was the place to train,” she reflected on the sport’s deep roots in our coastal city. “Santa Monica has always been a pinnacle in my life. Not only is it amazing for beach volleyball, with their 3.5 miles of white sand… now as someone who’s a mother, who appreciates being active and who wants to give my kids the amazing things I’ve experienced, Santa Monica is a no-brainer.” 🏖️ We had a fantastic time catching up with Kerri at the games! #santamonica #paris2024 #parisolympics #olympics #beachvolleyball

From its inception on the sands of Santa Monica to Olympic glory on the Champ de Mars in Paris, beach volleyball has stolen the hearts of players and viewers alike! 🏐🏅First popularized on our sunny shores in the 1920s, the game experienced a pivotal change in the summer of 1930, when Paul “Pablo” Johnson invented the iconic two-player team version of the sport and solidified its roots in the heart of Santa Monica.🌴This iteration quickly became a global phenomenon, eventually being inducted as a competitive Olympic sport in 1996. 🌊Next week marks the start of the beach volleyball quarterfinals at the Paris 2024 Olympics and we can’t wait to tune in! What teams are you hoping to see there?🌟.....#santamonica #olympics #paris2024 #volleyball #beachvball
